Coded PHY testing

[slowhand]

Hi,

I get the ble_app_att_mtu_throughput -example working with the coded PHY between two nRF52840 boards. Very nice, although I did not yet get the coded PHY advertising working. Just the coded PHY connection.

To understand how well the actual coded PHY works, I'd like to understand:

1. Does the example code fall back into 1Mbps mode in the middle of data exchange when the link quality drops - or does it go directly from coded PHY connection to DISCONNECT?

2. Are there other issues in the nRF52840 pdk that might cause the coded PHY to work in suboptimal way? Something that might be clearly better in the coming releases? I am not saying I am unhappy, I just want to get realistic idea how well the coded PHY performs.

Thanks!

The latest version of S140, S140 v.5.0.0-3.alpha supports advertising and connection establishment on coded PHY. However, the current version of the SDK does only support S140 v. 5.0.0-2.alpha. 2.alpha does not support advertising and connection establishment on coded PHY.

S140 v.5.0.0-3.alpha comes with an example that shows how to connect on coded PHY, the example is inside the softdevice download .zip file. I would recommend you to take a look at that example.

1) When connected on coded PHY, there will not be a change of phy unless it has been explicitly requested. (There is no automatic switching.)

2) Could you please elaborate?

Ok, thank you!
